FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Unsaturated fats or oils are usually of plant origin and contain unsaturated fatty acids. The double bond causes a bend or a “kink” that prevents the fatty acids from packing tightly, keeping them liquid at room temperature. Olive oil, corn oil, canola oil, and cod liver oil are examples of unsaturated fats.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unsaturated Fats Unlike saturated fats, which have nice, straight chains, unsaturated fat molecules have “kinks” in their fatty acid chains due to the double bond (or multiple double bonds). These “kinks” don’t allow unsaturated fat molecules to stack together in a nice, stable structure like saturated fat molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -A cis double bond generates a kink or bend in the fatty acid, which means that while saturated fatty acids have a straight, flexible carbon backbone, unsaturated fatty acids have “kinks” in their carbon skeleton because each double bond causes a rigid bend of the carbon skeleton.
